Any info on lifting a ‘21 with air suspension

[Dwg4040]

How much did you lift?

I think it amounts to just a couple inches. With the links you can still use the controls to go even higher, essentially I think the truck sits about where it did on the highest level previously. Added 285/60/20 Ridgegrapplers and its definitely a more aggressive look.

Where did you buy the links?

Edgymods.

How do you like the ride?

 

[Dustinwill23]

Fine to me, a little stiffer but still comfortable.

What size tires?

285/60/20

We installed the edgymod lift on my buddies Z71 suburban, he added 275/65/20 tires and put 1” wheel spacers on it to give it a more aggressive stance. Looks really good and has had zero issues with it.

My level works fine. And is adjustable. The higher you go with just links the stiffer the suspension will get since there is more psi in the bags. I went up a little f+r and have a “taught” feel.

Could alway combine with a 1-2” level for a stock ride.

Does anyone who has the edgymod links and a 21 high country wirh air, tell me the easiest way to measure the old and subtracting 5-6mm on the front and -5-6mm on the rear. I am someone of the nagging personality that need it as perfect as possible. If there was a conversion charge that edgy mod had different heights and what the correct total link size that would be great. It’s a pita using a caliper because the factory links are completely different look and design than the edgymod links. Anyone got any good ideas to get it as close as possible with ease and precision.

Right now I have the first link on the front left and I just ballparked it and figured inwould copy that link and replicate it on the other from side.
But then the back factory links are completely different lengths. Cool idea but not detailed instructions providing you with what the factory length is for the length of the new links.

Sorry if that doesn’t make any sense. Hard to explain for some reason

Honestly you just need to play with it. Once you install them the first time, it takes 10 seconds to pop one off to adjust it. Pretty sure mine are all different lengths now to have the truck level on all 4 corners.

Yeah I got it down now Thanks

Hey guys. Been following along here. I'm product selecting for my buddies 2021 Yukon Denali w/Air Ride. Yesterday he took the 2021 Adjustable ride height sensors acquired from Switch Suspension to an install shop who apparently was trying to put them on wrong. After being provided more detail instructions about how these attach to the upper control arms (removing the pin on the sensor side and sliding the link off the ball side), he's going to take it back and let them have another go at it. First off, the net result of the first install attempt was a loose attachment on the top of the sensor w/the installer blaming the product. Curious if anyone ran into this situation or has further comments about how to attach the new sensors correctly?

Regarding Tires: We don't want to max this thing out as to not stiffen the ride too much, so I'm shooting for him to get a 1.5" net raise up front and a .5" out back, has anyone run or test fit a 285/55/22 on an OEM spec 22x9 wheel with a similar setup? The gentleman above said he ran a 275/65/20 which is damn near identical to the 285/55/22 so I feel like it'll work.

I'd love some opinions if we think that is way too tall. I tend to push the envelope in this area and trim inner liners where needed but if this runs into control arms or metal that's a no no.

Love some input so I don't steer my buddy wrong.

Took the leap last week to see the limits of sensor trickers from Edgymod or Switch Suspensions. All I have to say are great things. I am currently running 35x12.5x17s on my 2021 z71 Tahoe and they don't rub with fender liner trimming and removing a liner bracket that is only used to hold one fender liner bolt. (no cutting) I have them set to 2 in the rear and 2.5 in front and with the big ass tires, it rides like stock. Yes I know maxing out this and messing up the bags is risky but it's worked for a solid week. Nothing but smiles so far!

I installed mine myself and it took about 15minutes so no experience with shops lifting it. Where the sensor side is make sure to get the lips of the socket thing fully around the ball, takes some spinning and angling but that's how it is most secure and for the non-sensor side just push it on really tight and don't worry about the lips. You will have to almost max it out to fit a tire that big. (I'm almost maxed running a 315/70r17) and if you are okay with maxing it to fit something that big you will need to trim liners and also take off a liner bracket that comes off with 4 15mm bolts. Let me know if you need more help!

This is very helpful. Thank you. I don't have much perspective so maybe help me here. When your truck right now is in 4L and you move the air suspension selector to Max Height, how much more does it have to go? In theory if it still jumps up then the difference is how much travel variance you still have from being "max'd out". The suspension install shop suggested that maxing these adjustable brackets would be the world's worst ride and wear out the strut b/c it would be over extended all the time.

The youtube video I just watched looked like it air's up much more than 2.5/2
